BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Downtown Encinitas experienced a rather quiet Cinco de Mayo this year, despite concerns from the community about loud and overcrowded bars along Coast Highway 101 and new regulations from the city regarding drinking and noise downtown. Homeowners and members of downtown’s Self-Realization Fellowship have complained to city officials, fearing Encinitas could become the region’s next Pacific Beach, with late-night bar fights, vandalism, drunken driving and noise complaints. Deputies from the San Diego County Sheriff Department’s North Coastal station and a city code enforcement officer visited more than a dozen bars and patrolled Coast Highway 101, from Leucadia to Cardiff, between 7 p.m. and 3 a.m. on May 5. The Encinitas Advocate joined them on the patrol through midnight. Overall, in downtown, there were two arrests (with at least one relating to alcohol), 14 bar checks, seven pedestrian stops and two field interviews, according to statistics from the Sheriff’s Department.

We do not feel that there are problems downtown as a whole, but there are certain spots that fuel the perception that downtown Encinitas has problems in regards to alcoholserving establishments.

”

Haven Dunn; D Street Bar and Grill Throughout the night, the bars did not appear overly crowded, although small lines did begin forming outside D Street Bar and Grill and 1st Street Bar, and loud music emitted from Shelter, after 11 p.m. Mario Morales, proactive code enforcement officer for the City of Encinitas, said he believes alcohol-related activity in the downtown area has decreased in the last three years due to the city’s Proactive Code Enforcement program (PACE), which began in 2014 and has code enforcement officers randomly visit alcohol businesses throughout the week to make sure they are in compliance with city laws. “We started getting everyone aligned and let them know we’re here now,” he SEE DOWNTOWN, A22

California Supreme Court deliberates on seawall case BY DEBORAH SULLIVAN BRENNAN The California Supreme Court grilled attorneys for the California Coastal Commission and two Encinitas homeowners on May 4 in a hearing over a seawall dispute that could affect oceanfront homes all along the coast. Neighbors Tom Frick and Barbara Lynch are challenging whether the commission has the authority to impose a 20-year expiration date on the permit for a seawall the pair built after a decades-old structure collapsed during a 2010 storm.

Adam Camacho has been named the new principal of San Dieguito Academy, taking over for Bjorn Paige, effective July 1, according to a press release. Camacho, who has been the principal of Earl Warren Middle School since 2014, joined the San Dieguito Union High School District in 2000 as a counselor at La Costa Canyon Adam High School.

That question could be preempted, however, by the commission’s contention that the property owners waived their right to sue over the matter when they built the new wall. Many of the justices’ rapid-fire questions Thursday focused on the latter issue. If the court finds that the homeowners waived their rights, it could choose not to rule on whether the 20-year time limit violates the state Constitution — the question central to the commission’s authority over some of the most prized properties in the SEE SEAWALL, A22

Sheriff’s Dept. seeking additional indecent exposure victims BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY The San Diego County Sheriff's Department is seeking additional people who may have been victims of indecent exposure or inappropriate touching in the North County Coastal areas. A Hispanic man standing next to a white delivery van in the 4000 block of Vista De La Tierra in Solana Beach grabbed the buttocks of a female pedestrian as she walked past him on May 6, according to a news release from the Sheriff's Department. The woman was able to run away and was not injured. A similar incident occurred on May 8 when a white delivery van drove slowly past a female jogger several times in the 17000 block of El Vuelo in Rancho Santa Fe. The Hispanic man then exposed himself to the jogger, who was able to run across the street as the suspect stepped out of the van with his pants down to his knees, authorities said. The Sheriff's Department believes the same man is responsible for both incidents and that an arrest is imminent. He was described as 5’5” to 5’8” in height,

The van was described as a newer white, delivery-type van with no windows on the sides. Anyone with information about these cases or who has been a victim of similar crimes is asked to call the Sheriff's Sexual Assault Unit at 858-974-2316.

LCC grad charged in Penn State hazing case

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A 2016 graduate of La Costa Canyon High School has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter, aggravated assault and other charges in connection with the hazing death of a fraternity brother at Penn State University. Luke Visser of Encinitas was among 18 students charged Friday in one of the largest hazing prosecutions in U.S. history in connection with the death of a 19-year-old freshman after a hazing ritual involving alcohol. Visser described himself on Facebook as a 2016 graduate of La Costa Canyon High School and a valet at Park Hyatt Aviara Resort, according to a story published in the Philadelphia Inquirer. His account featured a photograph of a young, blond man — presumably Visser —

with his arms around the waists of two women who appear to be cheerleaders for UCLA. A comment beneath the photo read: “Visser is a ... stud,” the story reported. The website Maxpreps.com also lists Visser as a member of La Costa Canyon’s football team from 2014-16. Tim Piazza suffered injuries that eventually became fatal after he fell down stairs during a party at the Beta Theta Pi fraternity party in February. The fraternity was forced to disband. Centre County, Pennsylvania District Attorney Stacy Parks Miller on Friday accused fraternity members of forcing Piazza to drink too much alcohol, then failing to call for help once it was clear he was seriously injured. The judge set bail at $100,000 but released the defendants on their own recognizance.

Man dies at the wheel, causes solo car wreck

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A man died while driving on the evening of May 6 and crashed his car in Encinitas on Encinitas Boulevard at Vulcan Avenue, authorities said. The three passengers in the mini-van, who were related to the man, said the driver rolled his head backward and passed out about 5:30 p.m., according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. The vehicle then veered right off the roadway and flipped onto its side.

The man, who has not yet been identified, had to be extricated by the fire department and was taken to Scripps Hospital Encinitas. The emergency doctor informed authorities that because of the statements from the family, he believed the driver died from congestive heart failure. The Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the official cause of death. The three passengers were not injured as a result of the collision, and there was no property damage except to the van and shrubbery.

Motorcyclist sustains major injuries in freeway crash BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A motorcyclist sustained major injuries on the afternoon of May 5 following a crash on the northbound I-5 freeway in Encinitas, authorities said. According to witnesses, the motorcyclist was traveling at a high rate of speed and collided in the back of a 2005 Honda Civic at about 12:05 p.m. near the La Costa Avenue exit, said Officer Brad Denham of the

California Highway Patrol. The motorcyclist was then ejected, and the motorcycle collided into a big rig, he said. The motorcyclist was taken to Scripps La Jolla with major injuries, but is expected to survive, Denham said. Authorities did not immediately know the condition of the drivers. The No. 3 and 4 lanes of the northbound I-5 were shut down for 30 minutes following the crash, Denham said.

City sets regulations on commercial vehicles in residential neighborhoods BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Large commercial vehicles will be more heavily regulated in all Encinitas residential neighborhoods, following approval by the city council on May 10. The council voted unanimously, with Council member Mark Muir absent from the meeting, in favor of an ordinance that amends city code to prohibit large commercial vehicles weighing at least 10,000 pounds from stopping, standing or parking in residential districts, following complaints from residents.

After tough health care vote, Issa to meet with constituents

Current city code only covers certain residential neighborhoods exceeding a specific size, but the new ordinance includes all residential zones in the city, including mobile home parks. The concern was first brought up at the council’s June 22 meeting, where they directed staff to bring it to the Traffic and Public Safety Commission for review. The commission then recommended the new ordinance. Under the new law, large commercial SEE VEHICLES, A20

BY JOSHUA STEWART Weeks after he faced hundreds of constituents and protesters at events in Oceanside, Rep. Darrell Issa says he’s planning another town hall meeting at the end of the month, a forum that’s likely to focus on the Republican health care bill working its way through Congress. Issa’s vote for the disputed legislation has generated protests against him from coast-to-coast. “I’ll head back, and I’ll be doing town hall meetings back in my district,” Issa told an ABC news affiliate outside a weekend fundraiser near Sarasota, Fla., where he addressed a small group of protesters. “We have one scheduled. It’s actually a few days more than the moment I go back. I regularly do it,” the Republican said. Issa’s spokesman said the meeting is tentatively planned for 7 p.m. May 31 in Oceanside, and exact details will be available later this week. In addition to back-to-back town hall meetings in March, Issa has regularly held telephone town hall meetings, where people can dial in and participate. Health care has been a central issue of the weekly Tuesday protests outside Issa’s Vista office. The protests are organized by the group Indivisible. More protests are being planned for later this week outside the Hotel del Coronado,

Encinitas hires its housing consultant BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Encinitas will have professional help on its Housing Element Update, following the approval of a housing consultant at the May 10 city council meeting. Dave Barquist, project manager San Diego-based Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc., was hired by the city in a $54,500 contract to help it develop its housing element after a unanimous approval by the council, with Council member Mark Muir absent from the meeting. His hiring was first approved by the

Housing Element Update Task Force — consisting of Mayor Catherine Blakespear; Deputy Mayor Tony Kranz; No on T spokesman and Planning Commissioner Bruce Ehlers; and former Planning Commissioner Kurt Groseclose — at the group’s May 4 meeting. One of the task force’s priorities since it formed in February has been finding a housing element expert to advise the city about possible options and legal matters. It is also looking for a city to model a housing

where the Republican National Committee holds its quarterly meeting. Issa faced pressure on the health care vote weeks before it was scheduled, as well as ongoing television commercials. After he was re-elected last year in the closest congressional race in the country, Issa is seen by Democrats and Republicans alike as one of the most vulnerable members of Congress. Twenty Republicans and all 193 House Democrats voted against the bill, which passed 217 to 213. Issa was one of the last members to record his vote, but his staff disputes that he cast the deciding 216th vote as some have reported. Issa has long contended that health insurance premiums and deductibles under the Affordable Care Act are too high. “Let’s stop pretending Obamacare is going to fix itself or that somehow, someday, it’s going to get better,” he said in a statement after the vote on Thursday, May 4. In the brief television interview in Florida, Issa said the House approval of the new health care plan was a step in an ongoing process. Several senators, including Republicans, have said they want major changes in the bill and are drafting their own version. SEE ISSA, A20

Tete a Tete with literary agent Jill Marr grand raffle prize at Blazing Laptops event BY SEBASTIAN MONTES It’ll take more than a nifty turn of phrase to impress Jill Marr. Her 16 years as a literary agent with Del Mar’s Sandra Dijkstra Agency has paired her with best-selling authors from all over the country. So aspiring authors need more than a way with words to convince her to add to her roster of two dozen writers she’s shepherding toward publication. At a minimum, it’ll take a keen sense of audience and at least some grasp of the ins and outs of publishing. “I’m always much more impressed with people who are able to approach me with knowledge of the industry,” Marr said. “If they know what they’re doing, it really puts them up a notch in my book and makes me want to work with them.” That rare chance to confab with a seasoned pro — to sit where so many accomplished authors have sat before — will be up for grabs on May 21 when several dozen wordsmiths hunker down for the 10th annual Blazing Laptops in Point Loma. The all-day fundraiser is the product of San Diego Writers Ink, a non-profit housed in Liberty Station. To mark the event’s anniversary, SDWI will raffle off a power lunch with Marr, offering up the chance to pick her brain and

Wordsmiths of every ilk will take part in the 10th annual Blazing Laptops write-a-thon on May 21. Learn more at sandiegowriters.org

Jill Marr has been a literary agent with Del Mar’s world-renowned Sandra Dijkstra Agency since 2001.

maybe — just maybe — make the pitch that lands a spot on Marr’s roster of authors. It might be easy to be intimidated by Marr’s cohorts. That roster includes journalists Gregg Zorroya and Kristina Rizga, Washington state senator Pramila Jayapal and TV personalities Nick Groff (Travel Channel) and Fred Stoller (Everybody Loves Raymond). But fear not, a San Diegan that breaks through isn’t as far-fetched as you

Mysteries, thrillers and “high-end” horror in the vein of Thomas Harris — the dark genius who dreamed up Hannibal Lecter — top her wish list. She’s also known to sink her teeth into a good piece of historical fiction, and always has an appetite for screenplay-friendly women’s fiction. And another word to the wise: don’t skimp on the word count. “People will come to me and say, ‘I have a novel I’m excited to show you!’

might think. The venerated agency that Sandra Dijkstra started more than 30 years ago has represented a long list of local legends — Mike Davis, Chalmers Johnson and Janell Cannon to name a few. And while, yes, pedigree matters, perspective matters more. “Fresh ideas are so hard to come by,” Marr said. “We are always looking for the new next breakout novelist or book.”

and it’s 50,000 words and I have to tell them, ‘Actually, no, that’s not a full-length adult novel.’” The writers at Blazing Laptops won’t accumulate such an audacious amount, but it’s just the sort of exercise that’s perfect for bringing aspiring authors out into wider audiences, attention and acclaim. “I love that it pushes people, because sometimes people can get into such a rut. I see how people get writer’s block,” Marr said. “So being surrounded by others, and all that creativity, it’s a great idea.” Blazing Laptops runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 21 at the Ink Spot, Liberty Station, 2730 Historic Decatur Road, Barracks 16, Suite 202. Also this year, SDWI is compiling the 10th anniversary edition of A Year in Ink, its anthology of local poetry, non-fiction, short stories and book excerpts. This year’s commemorative edition features 40 works picked from an all-time high of 450 submissions. “Every year we are the first publication for somebody, and give them their first big break,” said Kim Keeline, SDWI’s marketing and communications director.

Two cross-country journeys, two epic missions BY SEBASTIAN MONTES ne man’s goal is to run more than 20 miles every day for 1,172 days straight. For the other, 13,000 miles is the target, walking the country’s four corners — from Florida to San Diego to Seattle to Maine and then Florida again. After crossing paths twice in Texas, Jim Plunkett-Cole and Eli Smith barely missed each other last week in Del Mar, only one day and a few miles apart on their far-flung odysseys across the country. But while their paths and paces will diverge even more in the three years they both still face ahead, neither seem likely to waver in the devotion they bring to their causes — the first to beat back childhood obesity, the second to raise awareness for the struggle faced by veterans with PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Plunkett-Cole is spreading a gospel of nature-loving fitness as he runs from school to school across America, channeling Forrest Gump’s iconic run in order to get kids active and outside. Since embarking from Mobile, Ala. in October, he has zigzagged across the country to inspire and enable elementary students. His stop on May 11 at Carthay Center Elementary School in Los Angeles

will be his 30th school in the U.S. That’s 6,000 students, not counting the 5,000 he talked to at 20 schools in England. He enthralls them with tales of the wild pigs that chased him across the Louisiana outback, and the pair of otters he spotted playing in a storm drain in Galveston, and the bobcat he met face-to-face at the Garden of the Gods in Colorado. “I explain to the children that the more you get outdoors, the greater the chances are that you’ll see cool things and experience things that are far cooler than anything you will ever see in a cartoon, or in a film, or on a screen, or in a computer game,” he said. One of the schools he visited in Texas was so smitten that they flew him to their sister schools in Boston, New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Charlotte, Orlando and back to Houston. From Texas he ran to Colorado, where he was taken in by several schools in and around Denver, running a 1,200-mile circuit there and getting his visa extended, he said, thanks to Sen. Michael Bennet. While his course has varied from its cinematic inspiration, his mandate of daily mileage has not:

nearly a marathon every single day. For three years straight, nary an inkling of a day off. “No no no no no, I’m not allowed to,” he said during a brief pit stop in Encinitas last week. “My rules are that I’m not allowed to miss a single day for 1,172 days.” Eli Smith is taking a decidedly slower pace as he traverses 13,000 miles along the country’s periphery — to his knowledge, a feat that has never before been accomplished. A former tank gunner stationed in South Korea, he grows terse on what’s driving him in his epic endeavor, saying only that he “lost a few friends” to suicide and PTSD. So the 37-year-old from Columbus, Ohio sold everything he had last year and packed up the barest of essentials — a tent, a sleeping bag, a portable stove, a few tools — and stuffed it all into a small cart. He departed from Pensacola, Fla. on Nov. 22, bee-lining his way west until he meet the Pacific Ocean last week at the U.S.-Mexico border before turning north for Seattle. Once there, he’ll trudge east across the Great White North until he reaches the coast of Maine, then will turn south to Key West, Fla. and finish back in Pensacola. “I wanted to do something about SEE JOURNEYS, A20

WEEK IN SPORTS Baseball: La Costa Canyon’s Avocado League West winning streak was snapped at nine games, but the Mavericks still have a firm grip on first place. The winning streak ended when the Mavericks experienced a 5-3 loss to Torrey Pines on May 5. The Falcons closed to within a game of LCC, making the regular season finale between the two teams on May 17 loom large. Robby Schlesier had three hits and one RBI, and Kevin Sim, Jack Boone and Bennett McCaskill each had two hits to lead the

second-place Falcons, who moved to within one game of LCC. Falcons starter Tucker Pike, who was credited with the victory, struck out seven and allowed three runs (two earned) on eight hits and two walks. The Mavericks two days earlier defeated the Falcons in dramatic fashion, 7-6 in 11 innings. Spencer Jones had five hits to lead the Mavericks and Cole Cardinale had three hits one RBI. The Mavericks rallied from a 6-5 deficit in the bottom of the 11th inning, scoring two runs.

LCC trailed 5-4 going into the bottom of the seventh, scoring one run to send the game into extra innings. Mac Bingham was 2-for-6 with two doubles to lead the Falcons. The Mavericks tied the game in the bottom of the seventh against pitching standout Kyle Hurt, who struck out seven batters and allowed five runs on 10 hits and one walk. The Mavericks improved to 10-1 in league and 20-5 overall for the season. The Falcons improved to 9-2 in league and 21-6 overall for the season. ***** San Dieguito Academy defeated Canyon

Crest Academy 2-0 in an Avocado League West game on May 5. Josh Aguirre pitched a complete-game four-hit shutout to lead the Mustangs. Matt Pisacane had two hits and scored the game’s only two runs, and Wyley Sharp had two hits including a double and one RBI. Seth Bernstein had two hits including a double for the Mustangs. The previous day CCA defeated the Mustangs 4-2 as reliever Hugo Kinebuchi, who was credited with the victory, pitched 1 1/3 innings, combining with starter Niko de Boucaud, Brent Peluso and Alex Maher on a five-hitter. --By Gideon Rubin

Local families step up to help Syrian refugees BY JOE TASH Against the backdrop of a national debate on immigration and attempts by the Trump Administration to block the arrival of new refugees from Syria and other countries, dozens of North County families are helping the 200 or so Syrian refugee families already living in San Diego County. Coordinating those efforts is Heart 4 Refugees, a nonprofit group formed last fall by several Syrian-American friends in San Diego County. “We have two choices: we can turn our backs or we can show them love. When you show them love, you get love back. They’re human beings, they need help like anybody else,” said Kinda Arzon, vice president of Heart 4 Refugees and a resident of San Elijo Hills in San Marcos. Among those who answered the call for help was Deanne Rudman of Solana Beach. She and her family have adopted a Syrian refugee family of six people - two parents and four children - who live in an apartment in City Heights. Rudman recently co-hosted a fundraiser at the home of Michelle Alsari, another Solana Beach resident whose family has also adopted a Syrian refugee family. The adoptive families have helped the newcomers in a variety of ways over the past few months, from gathering furniture and other needed household items, to helping their children get vaccinations and register for school, to assisting them with library cards and

Her adoptive family consists of the parents, Laila and Hanifi, who are both 40, and their four children, two boys and two girls. The children are now attending school, while the parents take English classes five nights a week. “They’ve definitely made a lot of progress in the short time they’ve been here,” Rudman said, noting that the

parents can communicate in rudimentary fashion in their new language. “They seem motivated to learn, that’s critical.” The family came from an area near Aleppo in Syria, and moved several years ago to Turkey. They came to the United States last year, with a wave of refugees who ended up in San Diego County. “They left because of the violence and the war,” she said, referring to the civil war that has ravaged Syria since 2011. After helping them get basic furnishings

for their apartment - when she first met them in January they had a table but no chairs - Rudman turned to other necessities, including trying to help the father, a trained welder, get a job. According to Arzon, most of the Syrian families have been paired with American adoptive families, but a few local families are still needed. Now that the refugees’ basic household needs have been met, the priorities are helping them get such things as a driver’s license, a car and work. “We’re trying to get them jobs. That’s the only way a refugee is not a refugee any more, then they won’t be dependent on welfare or cash aid to survive,” Arzon said. Both Arzon and Rudman dismissed the concern expressed by some that allowing Syrian refugees into the United States poses a danger to local residents. “What scares me more is an American citizen with a gun than a Syrian refugee who has gone through 18 months of vetting,” said Rudman. “They don’t just open the floodgates and let a bunch of people come in.” “There’s no easy answer, but closing the door to Syrian refugees isn’t going to be the answer to our terrorism problem,” she said. The extensive security clearance process for refugees involves numerous interviews, biometric scans, and other research into the applicants’ past, said Arzon. SEE REFUGEES, A20

Teenage rock band to open the Fiesta del Sol The Elements, a teenage rock band, will be the first band to take the stage at the Fiesta del Sol Unplugged Stage on Saturday, May 20 at noon. They will be debuting two of their new original songs during their 45-minute set. The Elements will also entertain the crowd with cover songs from bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fitz and the Tantrums, Cage the Elephant, and Talking Heads. This year marks the 38th annual Fiesta del Sol and the second annual Unplugged Stage. “Our unplugged stage is an opportunity for up and coming bands to get some exposure in an arena that is more scaled to solid vocals and toned down or acoustic music,” said Mac Williamson of the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce Marketing Team. Collaboration is key among The Elements. Meeting twice a week for band practice, these young musicians adjusted their set to make it more aligned with the toned down environment of the Unplugged Stage. During the performance, singer Julian Boyer will switch between the keyboards and bass

The Greatest Generation again takes to the air BY SEBASTIAN MONTES he details can be slow to take shape, unfurling in a halting flow, faded by the steady drain of the seven decades since he last took flight. Capt. Alan Carlton faced a visage familiar but a lifetime removed as he stared down the B-24 bomber parked last week at Ramona airfield, a meticulously restored facsimile of the planes he piloted time and again into the heart of Nazi Germany. Carlton, 98, swapped stories with two other veterans as they sat in the shadow of the Second World War’s other great American bomber, the B-17, waiting to take flight as the Wings of Freedom tour moved its fleet of four restored WWII planes to Carlsbad. Stories of the fateful flight in 1944 — the 15th and final bombing run he’d get credit for — shot out of the sky by German fighter planes. Of his tail-gunner and a waist-gunner wiped out by the barrage of bullets. Of the men sniped from the sky as they parachuted down. Of the depravity he endured in a German prison camp, food so scarce that captive and captor alike had wasted away by the time Russian troops liberated them more than a year later. And of the horrors the Red Army savaged upon the villagers there.

Alan Carlton (second from left) with members of his family. unaware for half a century of how heavy a burden he bore, silently, for the men in his crew who didn’t make it. Those details only started coming out during a trip back in Germany in 1995, a reunion with what remained of his brothers in arms.

“It took him 50 years to start downloading what happened,” said his daughter Jan. He bore that burden in peace last week, for a few fleeting moments replaced by the simple joy of taking to the air again. “I just love to fly,” he said after

His children and grandchildren met him on landing, along with a vanload of fellow residents at Brookdale Senior Living in Carmel Valley, proudly waving Old Glory, the older among them awash in their memories of triumphant returns home after the defeat of the greatest evil the modern world has ever known. The May 4 event was one of 100 stops that the Wings of Freedom tour will make this year as it hops from airport to the delight of aviation aficionados. The Collings Foundation funds their tour by selling rides to the public at each stop. Their four-plane fleet also includes a B-25 Mitchell and the P-51 Mustang, revered in aviation lore as “the Cadillac of the sky.” The Collings Foundation’s B-24 — found in India years after the war and rechristened as “Witchcraft” — is said to be the only fully restored B-24 in existence. After a stop in Riverside on May 10, Wings of Freedom heads to Santa Ana until May 14. Learn more about the tour at www.collingsfoundation.org.

Gardening with Evelyn BY EVELYN WEIDNER

How to bring hummingbirds to your garden

veryone loves Hummingbirds. They are like flying jewels, so tiny and weighing no more than a nickel. They can fly forward, up, down and backwards. They must feed constantly and you can make your garden a feeding station with just the right plants. San Diego is home to many species but the prettiest and most common are Anna’s, Rufous and in the inland desert areas the

beautiful Costa Hummer. It’s fun to know who is visiting your garden. Printing some pictures of the most common visitors is a great way to involve the children. Plant the right plants. Hummers love plants with long tubular nectar laden flowers best. There are so many available that even the smallest garden can bring in the Hummers. Here are some of the best plus a few you might not know. The two best fuchsias.

Gartenmeister with its long orange red blooms has the longest sweetest flowers to entice the hummers. It is also one of the easiest to grow. Sun or shade. The California Native fuchsia. Zauschneria is drought tolerant and has masses of red flowers and a perfect bank plant. One you might not know is Russelia equisetiformis, a large plant that is a sure-fire Hummingbird feeder. Long grassy branches covered in

Streptocarpella red tubular blooms. Plant this one at the top of your slope or bank to let it spill down. Begonias, too, especially the orange Encanto. Hummers like blue too. Streptocarpella, aka Dancing flowers, might surprise you. This pretty hanging basket with its dainty blue flowers likes bright shade and is full of nectar. The hummers love it and there is no limit to how big you can grow this basket. The must-have Buddleia

aka Butterfly bush. You get two for one in this bush. Hummingbirds and Butterflies. Hint: Buddleias bloom on new growth so give them a good cut-back in January or February. All the Salvias and Penstemon are loaded with nectar and easy to grow. Hint: More is better. The more nectar plants and hummingbird feeders you have the more attractive your garden becomes. Hummingbird feeders are OK. Just be sure that you

keep it clean and full of the correct fresh nectar liquid. Don’t use honey, brown or raw sugar. Just good old white sugar. One cup to four cups of water. The liquid does not have to be red. Hanging it near some of nectar-loaded plants makes a double attractor. If you use feeders make sure you keep them filled all the time. Provide some water. Hummers need a place to bathe and to drink. Get educated. Go to some of the many free talks and demonstrations available. Coming up is Weidner’s Gardens Butterfly, Ladybug and Hummingbird event on May 20. Best talk is Mia McCarville, former Cedros Gardens owner. Best insect resource is Jim Bethke, head agricultural advisor, to help you solve your pesky pest problems. He brings his famous insect collection to delight both children and adults. Check for other events in your area. It’s the easiest way to enjoy learning. Interested in learning more?

Students at Pacific Ridge School and Calavera Hills Middle School display a mural they painted together to promote inclusivity.

Pacific Ridge students encourage acceptance at local middle school On Saturday, April 22, students from Pacific Ridge School joined students from Calavera Hills Middle School to paint a permanent mural promoting acceptance and diversity as part of a partnership with non-profit Hands for Peace. The mural was painted on a wall at Calavera Hills Middle School and was created by artists with the Muramid Mural Museum. About 13 upper school students from Pacific Ridge are part of the nonprofit group Hands of Peace Organization, an interfaith organization that empowers young people to raise their voices as leaders of change. Pacific Ridge teacher and Hands of Peace Faculty Adviser Scott Silk said the students wanted to do something to promote inclusivity and acceptance because many felt strong feelings of

political division after a tumultuous election season. “We as a community and as a society in general need visual reminders of what makes us great and what the power of diversity really is. We hope this will be that sort of a reminder for all the students that pass through the halls at Calavera Hills Middle School,” Silk said. The upper school students helped the middle school students from Calavera Hills paint the mural. The diagram for the artwork was a collaboration between the students and the Muramid artists. For about four years, students at Pacific Ridge have worked with Hands of Peace as part of the service learning program. Time is set aside during school for students to participate in community-oriented projects. Visit www.pacificridge.org

Advocacy group hosts 100 days rally in Encinitas BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY The Wagon Circle, an Encinitas-based advocacy group that formed last year, celebrated organizing and supporting each other through the first 100 days of the new administration on May 7 with a picnic and unity rally. The gathering took place at Cottonwood Creek Park, where members marched linked together to signify what they stand for. One of their primary focuses lately has been holding Congressman Darrell Issa accountable for his vote on the American Health Care Act. “Especially, since the vote on the ACHA we need to show that the resistance is going nowhere,” said organizer Lisa Nava, who sits on the city’s Parks and Recreation Commission. Over the last three months, the 300-member group has advocated for refugees, Planned Parenthood,

determination to stand together and help those that are in fear or marginalized by the new administration. We had guest speakers that represented our veterans, immigrant and Muslim neighbors.”

La Jolla Vein Care offers minimally invasive treatment BY DAVID L. CODDON Being a nurse practitioner is a gratifying profession, and especially so for Anna Cardinell at La Jolla Vein Care, which is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of vein disorders. “There’s a lot of patient teaching involved, which I really enjoy,” said Cardinell. “You have a chance to make patients feel better and look better, and they don’t always realize the benefits they can obtain by having the treatment.” “The treatment” for bulging, or vericose veins has come a long way from the traditional practice of vein stripping, a surgical procedure. La Jolla Vein Care specializes in minimally invasive treatment procedures. Among them is radiofrequency ablation (RFA), which delivers radiofrequency energy to the vein wall, causing the vessel on the inside to become inflamed and then close. This allows the remaining healthy veins to predominate. Another commonly employed treatment at La Jolla Vein Care is sclerotherapy, which consists of injections with a pharmaceutical solution. RFA is intended to be a one-time procedure, and Cardinell says, “The recurrence rate is very, very low.” Sclerotherapy may involve repeat injections to get the vein to close, but she says, “The majority is all done in the first month of the therapy.” While there may be multiple reasons for vein disease, such as pressure on the lower body from pregnancy, increased weight or being on one’s feet a lot, genetics is the No. 1 factor, according to Cardinell. It is also seen more commonly in women than in men. Ultimately, she says, “We don’t really understand” why it happens. “The vein walls just become weak, and when they become weak they start to dilate and the blood starts going in both directions. It builds up pressure in the veins, and it’s just a cascade of problems.” Vein problems are not confined to an older demographic. “We see patients in their 20s, even their teens,” said Cardinell, who has a surgical background that ended up taking her into interventional radiology. Treatments at La Jolla Vein Care are covered by insurance if they are done for medical and not strictly cosmetic reasons. “Insurance wants to know that they (patients) have tried and failed conservative management, which consists of primarily wearing medical-grade

La Jolla Vein Care specializes in minimally invasive treatment procedures. compression hose for three months. That can help temporarily control the symptoms, but it’s not going to change the disease’s progression.” Those symptoms, by the way, can include in addition to visibly bulging or spider veins, heavy or tired legs, cramping, throbbing, swelling, even restless legs. Not having any symptoms at all, however, can be deceiving. Cardinell recommends a visit “if you have a family history as well as if you start to experience symptoms.” La Jolla Vein Care, founded in 2010, boasts a workforce of seven in addition to Cardinell: a physician, two medical assistants, two ultrasonographers and two administrative staff members.

Revisiting money issues

his year’s $9.2 million deficit continues to loom large for the San Dieguito Union High School District, which is good reason to revisit the December 2015 teachers’ contract and the subsequent raises given to all other SDUHSD employees in 2016. The union contract approved 3-2 by the school board will cost the district millions of dollars annually, and has fiscal ramifications for years to come since salary increases are not a one-time expense. This massive $6.5 million annual expenditure is compounded by surging mandatory pension contributions which are expected to rise dramatically over the next few years. Dwindling reserves complicates the matter further. What were they thinking? The numbers, provided in August 2016 by San Dieguito’s now Superintendent Eric Dill, are startling. The teachers’ contract awarded a 7 percent increase retroactive to July 1, 2015 – and another 5.5 percent increase beginning July 1, 2016. After the teachers’ labor contract was approved, the district, by more 3-2 votes, then awarded the same percentage raises to classified employees and management – in other words, everyone, including then Superintendent Rick Schmitt. I asked Schmitt when this issue came up why he was taking this raise himself, when as superintendent he was charged with negotiating with the union on behalf of taxpayers. In other words, who negotiates for the public when the district and the union are on the same side of the bargaining table? “The school district negotiates for the taxpayer and the community, period,” he said. “That’s what we do. I/we represent the taxpayers in every negotiation we do, whatever the category.” “We’re always looking to get the best value for the community at the right price,” he added. Every salary increase in the teachers union contract is “by custom” awarded to every other

employee in the district, Schmitt said, including those who negotiated the terms of the raise on behalf of taxpayers. I heard two responses most often: “Everyone does this” and “It’s the way we’ve always done it.” There is no clearer example of a conflict of interest than to have a superintendent negotiate on behalf of taxpayers and then take the same salary increase for himself, “by custom.” Me-too clause “Me-too” clauses rarely appear in superintendent contracts, and it did not in Schmitt’s. But it’s typical standard operating procedure that superintendents, who are charged with leading negotiations with their unions on behalf of taxpayers, receive the same pay raises granted to teachers and other staff – whether the language is specified in the superintendent’s contract or not. For example, the recent scandal at the San Diego County Office of Education concerned, among other issues, a clause in former Superintendent Randy Ward’s contract that stated: “The superintendent shall receive a salary increase each year equal to the increase rate given to SDCOE certificated teachers.” This contract was signed June 11, 2014 by Ward and Sue Hartley, who at the time was president of the county board of education and this area’s District 5 representative. Even though he received a big raise, Schmitt left the district June 30, 2016, to head the San Ramon Valley Unified School District in northern Calif. At the time, his SDUHSD salary was $238,329, which was set to go up to $248,347 on July 1. At San Ramon, where he started his employment on July 1, his contracted starting salary was $309,664. Besides the superintendent, Schmitt’s four associate superintendents also received raises identical to the terms of the union contract. Before the school board approved the raises for management in early 2016, the annual salary was

www.encinitasadvocate.com $162,265 for all four associate superintendents: Eric Dill (Business Services), Mike Grove (Instructional Services), Torrie Norton (Human Resources), and Jason Viloria (Administrative Services). After the approval, their salaries increased retroactively back to July 1, 2015 to $175,000. On January 1, 2016 the salaries increased again to $185,276, and then increased once again on July 1, 2016 to $195,466. All figures are according to Norton. [Update: Dill is now SDUHSD superintendent, Viloria resigned last year to become supt. of the Laguna Beach Unified School District and was replaced by Mark Miller, and Norton has submitted her resignation effective June 30, 2017.] The money To recap, the total cost of the salary increases for 2015-2016 was $6,494,354, Dill said. Certificated (teachers) employees accounted for $4,096,522, classified was $1,952,920, and management and other employees cost $444,912. For 2016-2017, the total cost of the salary increases is $6,542,402, Dill estimated. Certificated employees account for $4,848,296, classified is $1,286,655, and management and other employees cost $407,451. This $6.5 million expense for salaries and benefits across the board will continue each subsequent year. (These figures, however, do not take into account the number of highly paid veteran employees who are retiring.) No one would have objected to a reasonable contracted salary increase. But the size of the raise, coupled with applying the same raise to management, is what’s problematic. As one reader wrote to me, “When taxpayers learn of the details of teacher contracts and compare them to their own job benefits and protections, they have no sympathy.” Last June, at the 21st annual Golden Watchdog and Fleece Awards dinner, the San Diego County Taxpayers Association named SDUHSD as the winner of its infamous Grand Golden Fleece award, for the outrageous raises given to all employees. This dubious distinction is not something you’ll see boasted about on the district’s website. “To make matters worse,” the SDCTA said, “a month later the superintendent negotiated the exact same raise and terms for himself.” Highest paid in county Then there’s the language in the contract that San Dieguito teachers must be the highest paid in SEE SUTTON, A21

Local dentist offers positive approach to dentistry BY STACEY PHILLIPS Dr. Weston Spencer said there is nothing more beautiful than a healthy smile. As a specialist in conservative comprehensive dentistry, Spencer said the teams at his Rancho Santa Fe and La Jolla dental practices pride themselves on providing superior care for patients. “We take the time to listen carefully to each patient’s unique cosmetic goals and then devise a treatment plan personalized to his or her particular case,” said Spencer. “We work together with our patients to ensure they achieve and maintain their optimal oral health and desired cosmetic outcome.” Spencer said the restorative dentistry treatments they offer are used to repair damage to the teeth and gums, while general dentistry treatments include a patient’s regular visits, which are necessary to maintain oral health. In addition to offering these services, the dental practices also provide cosmetic dentistry. “People who come to us for cosmetic dentistry don’t always have a big problem that needs to be fixed.

Often, they just want to look and feel better about their smile,” said Spencer. The dental offices focus on various treatments designed to improve the appearance of a patient’s smile, including porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, tooth-colored fillings, dental crowns, and Invisalign. “The biggest advantage to cosmetic dentistry is how you feel about yourself,” said Spencer. “Many people hesitate to ask about their options with cosmetic dentistry thinking that it might be unnecessary, but in actuality numerous studies show that our ability to smile without hesitation directly correlates to our overall confidence in social situations.” Whether someone is looking for a new job, a new relationship or making other changes in their lives, he said how someone smiles or perceives their smile, can give them the confidence to pursue their goals. “Cosmetic dentistry encompasses the physical appearance of a smile, as well as giving a patient the tools to maintain a healthy mouth,” he said. In order to offer quality cosmetic dentistry, Spencer said he makes it a

priority to attend regular meetings and classes to stay-up-to-date with current training and materials. Every year, he spends hundreds of hours continuing his education in cosmetic-related training. He is a member of several organizations such as the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry where he said he learns from some of the best dentists in the world. “We continue to better understand what people are looking for and how they feel about their mouth and their smile,” said Spencer. After graduating from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry at the top of his class, Spencer began practicing in La Jolla with Dr. James Lovell in 2011. He opened an additional location in Rancho Santa Fe in 2016. The practice recently celebrated its one-year anniversary and is open to treat patients on Thursdays, and all weekdays for after-hours emergencies. Spencer’s goal is to add more time to his Rancho Santa Fe schedule in 2017. That being said, his patients are always welcome to book an

COURTESY

Dr. Weston Spencer appointment in La Jolla any other day of the week. Since opening the Rancho Santa Fe location, Spencer said he and his team have been overwhelmingly grateful for the support the community has shown. In addition to sponsoring activities at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center and establishing relationships with local residents and businesses, he sets aside time to educate those in the surrounding area

about good oral health, which includes talking to seniors at the Rancho Santa Fe Senior Center. Due to its close proximity to R. Roger Rowe School, the dental office offers a walking service for children to come for an appointment. “We enjoy making our services available for the whole family,” said Spencer. The practices accept all PPO dental insurance plans and set a high standard for the quality and level of dentistry offered. “That allows us to be more conservative on how and when we treat patients,” said Spencer. “We don’t always have to treat everything right away if it’s not necessary.” He encourages patients to always ask questions to ensure they understand the treatment plan prescribed. “All of our treatments contribute to an aesthetically pleasing, naturally radiant smile that projects warmth, spirit, and vitality,” said Spencer. “There’s nothing more exciting than seeing a patient leave with an incredible smile.” For more information or to make an appointment, contact westonspencerdds.com,

‘The Old Man and The Old Moon’ has West Coast premiere at The Old Globe BY DIANA SAENGER Like to laugh and leave the theater in a delightful mood? Then you won’t want to miss PigPen Theatre Co.’s “The Old Man and The Old Moon,” already attaining great reviews at The Old Globe Theatre. It’s sort of a fable, a myth, or as the Broadway World dubbed it, “A glorious fusion of music and theatrics.” Arya Shahi, who received a B.F.A. in Acting from Carnegie Mellon University was part of the actors and writers who co-created every iteration and appeared in every production of PigPen’s “The Hunter and The Bear,” “The Old Man and The Old Moon,” “The Mountain Song” and “The Nightmare Story.” He said PigPen Theatre Co. liked working with The Globe on this play. “It’s very exciting to be in California and introduce a brand-new community to this show that we’ve been doing for five years,” Shahi said. “PigPen has been the same seven guys for 10 years now. We were freshman in an acting program at Carnegie Mellon University when we met in 2007. “We began writing short stories and fairytales together, and also music to accompany them. It was mostly just for our friends and teachers, but then we took our show on the road and went to the New York Fringe Festival where we earned some awards. That kicked off our career in professional theater. “This production, in the style of an odyssey, is inspired by a lot of Celtic folklore, and also from Ryan Melia, who plays the old man. He came to us when we were in college and told us a little story he made up when he

Stuart Carden directs the cast of ‘The Old Man and The Old Moon,’ created by and starring the PigPen Theatre Co. was a camp counselor and had in mind for us. It was about a giant who filled the moon every night with light. “It really made us think about that scenario. Over the next year, we chipped away at that idea and wrote a story around a giant who became a very small old man who had to climb a ladder. In essence, for us it became about why the moon has it cycles. When his wife suddenly disappears, the old man has a very hard decision to make.” Shahi plays five or six different characters

as does most of the cast. They like creating stories where the actors can play different characters and surprise the audience over how different they can be. In writing the folk music performed throughout the show, they discovered its power and what it can do to an audience. As a writer, performer or any kind of artist, Shahi said he will never get over the fact that he and his comrades are making things up that people are responding to emotionally. “Just to have someone change a point of

view from a story you created, which now is thousands of people, it’s hard to process that. A lot of our work is inspired by the Disney cartoons we grew up with. We have a central protagonist who meets characters, and we get to play them all. We just do our work and hope people get something out of it.” ■ IF YOU GO: “The Old Man and The Old Moon,” plays May 13-June 18 on the Shiley Stage at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

FROM ISSA, A3 “It’s a good starting position,” he said. “It’s one I believe will begin the debate.” But any changes could run into problems when the health measure returns to the House, where the conservative Freedom Caucus has already issued warnings about major changes. Meanwhile, Issa is facing a new series of attacks based on his vote. Save My Care, an organization funded by labor and allied organizations, ran television ads that encouraged viewers to tell Issa to vote against the bill, and, on Sunday, uploaded a new spot to YouTube. “Issa voted to raise your costs and cut coverage for

millions, to let insurance companies deny affordable coverage for cancer treatment and maternity care and charge five-times more for people over 50,” the new ad says. “Issa voted yes even though the bill makes coverage completely unaffordable to people with pre-existing conditions. Congressman Issa, how could you do this to us?” Issa’s spokesman, Calvin Moore, said that commercials like this are the reason why people do not like politics. “What the Democrats and their advertising agencies won’t tell you is they broke our health care system, refused to fix it and now want to blame Republicans for cleaning up their mess. It won’t work, and the voters will see through it,” he said. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is

The task force’s next meeting will be in about two months, once Barquist has done a site-specific inventory and analysis of all the sites on the previous housing element map, according to Blakespear. Barquist, a North County native, has had more than 20 years of experience forming housing elements and general plan updates in more than 50 California cities, including Fountain Valley, Montclair, Oakley, Chula Vista and Placentia. Barquist was not present at the May 10 meeting due to a previously scheduled conflict, he told the Encinitas Advocate in an email. Blakespear advocated for Barquist at the meeting. “He has the right attitude of trying to be creative and understanding what we want as a community,” she said.

planning a drive-time radio advertisement targeting Southern California House members for their support on the bill. The legislation he backed doesn’t include some provisions he has previously said a bill would need before it would get his support, including a prohibition against discrimination on coverage based on gender and pre-existing conditions, as well as portability to allow people to take their same health insurance plan with them when they change jobs or retire. After the vote, Issa headed to Florida for the fundraiser, where he was met with another gaggle of protesters who were coordinated with the San Diego and Florida chapters of Indivisible. — Joshua Stewart is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

the consulting group believes successful outcomes for the housing element update are based on effective definitions of the issues and challenges of the community and stakeholders; spatial/economic analysis of development feasibility; policies and programs that are a “win-win” for the community; effective negotiation and consultation with the California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD); and strategic preparation for future voting measures. Kimley-Horn will participate in up to three meetings with the task force; conduct community workshops with residents to inform and gather thoughts; consult with the city and stakeholder agencies, including SANDAG and the Coastal Commission; analyze the 15 pre-selected areas and sites developed by the city to demonstrate the relationship between the city’s Regional Housing Need Allocation (RHNA) numbers and dwelling

unit capacity; attend city public hearings; and be the city’s liaison with the HCD. Encinitas is the only city in San Diego County without a Housing Element, a required document that spells out how a city proposes to rework its zoning to accommodate its future housing needs, particularly those of low-income people, according to The San Diego Union-Tribune. The city’s original plan, which it is still working off of, was created in the 1990s. State law currently mandates Encinitas should zone for 1,093 high-density units, according to city officials. The city’s last effort for a Housing Element — Measure T — failed in the November election. The plan called for allowing additional housing on a series of sites along busy roadways in all five communities of Encinitas. In order to meet state targets for new housing growth, the plan proposed easing city height restrictions and allowing 20 to 30 dwelling units per acre on those sites.

FROM REFUGEES, A7

Rudman is gratified that so many of her friends have stepped up to help the refugees, whether through donations of money, household goods or their time. “I’m here to help them get on their feet, give them the tools they need to be contributing members of our society,” Rudman said. “That will make me feel like I was success, if they are successful and have a job and a car and are a functioning family in our society.” Arzon said, “Let’s show them how beautiful America is and how beautiful the American people are. That’s been our mission. It’s been incredible.” Those who want more information or to help the Syrian families can visit heart4refugees.org or facebook.com/heart4refugees.

“I feel those refugees are more vetted than you and I are,” said Arson. “The United States (government) knows a lot about who is coming here, they chose those families.” Currently, there are about 1,000 Syrian refugees in San Diego County, representing about 200 families, said Arzon. Many of them arrived last year, through the auspices of nonprofit resettlement agencies such as Catholic Charities and Jewish Family Services. Another 1,000 were expected, but the additional refugees have not shown up, she said, perhaps due to changes instituted by the new administration in Washington.

FROM JOURNEYS, A5 it that no one’s ever done before,” he explained last week as he enjoyed a rare hotel room reprieve in San Clemente. The nonprofit he created, 4 Corners Charities, has built up with help from people he’s met along the way; Gold Star moms and fellow veterans and everyday Americans inspired by his journey. He is asking people to donate $22, echoing the statistic that 22 veterans kill themselves every year. Eight months in, he’s raised around $6,000, has worn through four pairs of shoes and has shed some 50 pounds. “I think I’m slowly gaining it back,” he joked. “People have been feeding me very

well.” Sometimes he sleeps on the ground, or in the bushes. Sometimes in his tent. Sometimes, he finds shelter thanks to a military family he encounters along the way. In Encinitas, he was put up in a lavish vacation home after the homeowner learned about his saga on Facebook. “One of the things I’m trying to convey is everyone is good. I’m living proof, I’m walking across the country, meeting strangers, staying in their homes,” he said. “It’s all different backgrounds. This is not political. It’s been phenomenal just to see Americans come together. People do want to help.” Follow Eli at www.4cornershike.org. Follow Jim at jimgump.com.

The SD County Taxpayers Assn. blasted the district, saying this guarantee is “irrespective of teacher performance, student success or the district’s financial stability.” Bob Croft, president of the San Dieguito Faculty Association (teachers union), wrote in an email at the time, “In the view of the SDFA Executive Board, our educators more than deserve to be the best paid here in San Diego County!” I asked Schmitt last year about this clause and the implications should other school districts also incorporate the same clause in their teacher contracts. “You make a good point,” he said. But he justified it anyway, saying, “There’s an expectation in our community that we’re Number 1 in academics, Number 1 in athletics, Number 1 in the arts. So Number 1 in everything. “To me it doesn’t seem odd that our

employees are the highest paid in the county. It is an expectation in our community that we’re the best at everything. I’ll stand behind that point.” He also said the top pay is appropriate because the San Dieguito district “is the most expensive community in San Diego County to live” – overlooking the fact that most teachers commute and don’t live in the district. At the time, I referred to the latest salary comparison charts produced by the San Diego County Office of Education for teachers from all 42 school districts county-wide. Those documents showed that San Dieguito teachers with Masters degrees were ranked number 1 and 2 in the county – not ninth, 10th and 11th as Schmitt claimed. Schmitt told me he was using charts produced by other sources to show that his teachers were not the highest paid. He said he would send those to me, but never did. “I was looking at news items, updates from superintendent meetings, etc.,” he

wrote in an email. Schmitt said the district has a history of being fiscally conservative, and that there is money to pay for these raises well into the future, based on healthy reserves, conservative assumptions and realistically rosy projections. Even if all that is true, which is suspect, did the raises need to be so high, at 12.5 percent? Assuming scads of cash were just lying around, as Schmitt claimed, could at least some of it have been spent on hiring more teachers to reduce class sizes? More security? The arts? Relieving parents of the pressure to donate to foundations to fund classroom essentials? Given the tragedy at Torrey Pines High School last week, how about additional counselors? More background next time, and a look at the present financial condition of the district. Opinion columnist and Senior Education Writer Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

FROM DOWNTOWN, A1 said. “The bars weren’t ready for us, so they were still misbehaving, but when we started patrolling more, everybody started to calm down.” He said it’s not always about citing people, but also about educating them on why the regulations are important. During his rounds, which are random throughout the week, Morales will ensure bars are not over capacity, their servers all have licenses to work with alcohol and other safety measures are in place, like lines only taking up a certain amount of space on the sidewalks. Noise levels are also checked. For the most part, the businesses are compliant, Morales said. “A lot of the time, they’ll fix problems on the spot because we have that relationship with them,” he said. Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Rich George also credited ride-sharing programs like Uber and Lyft for keeping drunk people off the streets in recent years. The busiest time for alcohol-related activity is during the summer months and on the night before Thanksgiving, he added. “I’ve seen problems in other communities and, personally, I don’t think it’s too bad here,” George said. “But I do think having the initiative to control what we have right now is important.” Authorities have also increased their visibility downtown, making their presence known to bars and their patrons, he said. A new

FROM SEAWALL, A1 state. In their lawsuit, the Frick and Lynch families call the time limit an unconstitutional “regulatory taking” of private property, which devalued their homes. In some of their questions, the justices appeared to push back against that argument, noting that, for now, the permit was secure and so were the homes.

sheriff’s substation is also expected to open this summer in downtown at 149 W. D Street. George said problems have decreased downtown since he began working for the department three years ago. “When I first started here, things were pretty bad,” he said. “There were fights and it was really busy.” Capt. John Maryon said he believes the Sheriff’s Department “finally has a handle” on downtown. “I don’t get the phone calls from the residents complaining about all of the fights and other issues they were dealing with down there,” he said. “I do know we still need to maintain our presence down there otherwise the problems will return.” In December 2015, the council approved a $150,000 increase to the Sheriff’s Department’s budget to allot for overtime, particularly in the downtown area. The overtime funds proved especially effective on Dec. 31, 2015, when deputies had a strong presence in the downtown area, Maryon said at a city council meeting in January. In addition to extra deploys in the area, the overtime fund also paid for four deputies with two vans from the Sheriff’s Department’s Transportation Unit to take anyone arrested downtown to jail. Maryon said this allowed the Community Policing and Problem Solving unit and Crime Suppression Team to stay downtown to continue their efforts

Deputy Atty. Gen. Hayley Peterson, representing the commission, said that after the permit expires, there’s no reason to assume the agency would deny a new one. “And if they do, that’s the time to litigate a taking,” said Justice Kathryn M. Werdegar. “The possibility that the commission may deny this in 20 years does not constitute a taking today.” Nonetheless, she acknowledged that

The streets of downtown Encinitas were not bustling on Cinco de Mayo, shown in this photo taken at about 11:15 p.m. without having to leave for booking. Ultimately, 12 people were arrested that night, with 10 of those for being drunk in public. One other person was arrested for driving under the influence, and another was arrested for possession of methamphetamine. This last New Year’s Eve, there was one arrest, Maryon said. The city is also making efforts to ensure a safer downtown and city overall, following complaints from residents regarding noise, crowds, people urinating in public and other disturbances. Videos have also surfaced on social media of businesses seemingly playing loud music in the late hours of the night. “I think we need a better handle (on the current situation),” Planning Commission Chairman

government “taking” also can occur because of “onerous conditions that diminish the value of homes.” Jon Corn, an Encinitas land use attorney who represents the families, said uncertainty over the permit’s renewal casts a cloud over the properties that damages their worth and marketability. That argument prevailed in San Diego Superior Court, but the commission challenged the decision.

Glenn O’Grady said in a January meeting. The city council is working on a “deemed approved ordinance,” which will allow the city to enforce nuisance codes according to uniform standards across the city. The city has passed a slew of alcohol-related ordinances including: alcohol service to stop at 10 p.m. for new businesses along the coastal corridor, with possible later cutoffs once they prove their good behavior; a noise ordinance downtown and update the standards elsewhere; stiffer fines for code violations; and measures to curb party buses and the long lines of patrons waiting to get into bars. Current rules call for $100 for a first violation and $200 for the second. Council member Tasha Boerner Horvath wants $1,000 in

The 4th District Court of Appeals concluded that the commission could impose the time limit, and the homeowners had waived their right to dispute it when they accepted the permit. The homeowners appealed to the state Supreme Court. The Coastal Commission declined to comment on Thursday’s hearing, but Rick Frank, director of the California Environmental Law and Policy Center at the UC Davis School of Law, said he thought most of the justices were persuaded by the state’s argument. “They seemed to be skeptical of the homeowners’ claims that they should be entitled to build the seawall, while simultaneously challenging the constitutionality of that provision,” he said. The case is being closely followed by environmental groups, property rights advocates and coastal homeowners across the state. Roughly a dozen groups have weighed in with friend-of-the-court briefs, including the League of California Cities and the

both instances. Haven Dunn, owner of D Street Bar and Grill, said he believes there’s an oversaturation of alcohol-serving establishments downtown and no more liquor licenses should be issued. “We do not feel that there are problems downtown as a whole, but there are certain spots that fuel the perception that downtown Encinitas has problems in regards to alcohol-serving establishments,” he said. “In other words, a few bad apples are ruining it for the rest.” He believes the announcement of the opening of the Modern Times Brewery has residents concerned because of pre-existing parking and oversaturation problems. Another downtown business owner, who wished to remain anonymous, said he believed residents were being unfair to the businesses in their complaints. The businessman, who also owns property in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter, said he did not want to see downtown Encinitas turn into the Gaslamp. “I have no problem with people complaining, as long as their complaints are fair,” he said. “They’re somewhat fair now, but I think people need to stake their spots. When they start taking videos at midnight on a Friday or Saturday night, yeah, it’s not fair. If they have videos from a Tuesday or Wednesday at 2 a.m., I get it. ... As a business operator, I would always appreciate it if people came to complain to us directly first, which never happens.”

Surfrider Foundation, in support of the Coastal Commission, and the National Assn. of Realtors and California Building Industry Assn., in support of the plaintiffs. In Encinitas, the median sale price of a single-family home was $918,500 last year, and beachfront homes are among the most coveted in the city. Many of those are perched on sandy cliffs and rely on seawalls for protection from erosion. According to the commission, however, such structures actually accelerate erosion of the state’s public beaches. With sea level projected to rise by three feet or more by the end of the century, the commission said it must keep close tabs on how seawalls affect the sand below. That debate could remain unresolved if the court decides that the homeowners in the current case forfeited their right to challenge the restriction when they built the wall under the permit’s conditions. John Groen, executive vice president and general counsel

for the Pacific Legal Foundation, which advocates for property rights and is representing the families pro bono, argued that the families accepted the condition under duress. With their homes threatened by the crumbling bluff, they could not wait to litigate the complaint before starting construction. Moreover, he said, they filed the lawsuit before receiving the final permit, suggesting that the commission knew of their objections when it issued it. At times the justices seemed to sympathize with the homeowners’ quandary, acknowledging the conflict between their need to act quickly to repair the seawall and their desire to preserve their legal options. “It could be quite a challenge for the homeowner to wait until all of this” is resolved, Justice Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar said. The Supreme Court will decide the matter within 90 days. Brennan is a reporter for The San Diego Union-Tribune.
